Bow Back Carrier?

[Mikido]

Looking for a product to strap the bow (just the bow, not the bow on my hunting backpack) to my back, while on a horse.

Currently I use rope ran through the limbs, strapped to shoulders. It works, but uncomfortable for long rides.

Thanks!

Why not just use a neoprene bow sling with some velcro safety straps to keep it from sliding off? That should hold it securely to your back and protect it while jostling around. They also have the added bonus of covering all the sharp corners that may dig into your back while bouncing on a horse.

Too loose, low, and wide. Bow needs to
Be vertical and very high on the back

You might be able to use a bow spider

I did look into that system after I posted…..a bit pricey

I've ridden horses for 20+ years and I've never seen someone do that. I'm trying to think of a solution for you besides an actual scabbard, but the only thing I can think of is putting it in the meat shelf of a good pack.

But having something that high on you while riding creates it's own issues.

I couldn't find a product either. I have a recurve bow. Using the stabilizer mount I formed a piece of hard plastic that would allow a male "v-notch hangar" to be mounted to it. Then made a plate from plastic that holds the female side of the v-notch hangar. That plate is strapped to backpack with 4 straps already on the pack. Then I had to make a lightweight plastic box to put inside the backpack to keep it full/taught. Otherwise as you load/unload pack (mostly due to clothing layering up/down), even with the black 'plate' I made strapped to it, it would move a fair amount. The whole process was rewarding because it works well, but also annoyingly more tedious than I thought it would be. I made due with a backpack I already owned. It would be hard to make a product that works universally with all packs and all bows. So, end result is: it was worth it! Probably $30 in materials. I get 4 miles deep so much more quickly than if I had hiked it. I live in AZ and there's lots of trails where mountain bikes are allowed on public land so this is a huge benefit to me.
